This skincare serum is made with all organic ingredients. You will have
softer smoother skin with less wrinkles and a more even skin tone.
There are no chemicals or any ingredients that you cannot pronounce in
this serum, just natural botanicals and essential oils. I developed this
serum for myself because I wanted to find a natural alternative to
products like Retin-A.  |

Earlier this month I was able to review the Cloth Pads. I'm not sure what the weather's been like around other parts of the US, but I live in Southern Indiana and it has been pretty HOT this past week. I was a little reluctant to wear them while I was out working in the barn because I was afraid they would make me extra hot and sweaty. I was pleasantly surprised when everything stayed cool and comfortable. They sort of felt like wearing really thick panties. There were no awkward, embarrassing, crinkling or swishy noises like disposable pads as I moved. I also experienced no chafing or itching like I had been with the disposables, which was SO nice and such a relief! The outer shell is made out of fleece I believe and it really helped keep the pad from sliding. The neat little snap also helped it stay in place. I was somewhat concerned that I would be able to feel the snap, but I couldn't feel it at all. Even as I sat up and sat down I couldn't tell that there was a snap. The fabrics seemed to absorb well and I didn't have problems with leaking, although I have never really had a super heavy flow. It was also comforting to know that there was a layer of PUL in the pad to prevent fluid from leaking all the way through as well.
When my hubby brought the package in from the mailbox I was SO excited! The Sushi Set was in a clear plastic bag and taped shut, which was nice because with all the rain we have been having lately it was a relief to see that the toys were protected inside the package as well. I pulled all the pieces out and set them on the coffee table. Big Sister was instantly curious to see what I had. When she came over I grabbed the Chopsticks and began picking up each Sushi piece, brought it close to my mouth and said "Yum Yum Yum" and then put it down to get another one. Big Sister giggled and began to follow my lead. She couldn't quiet figure out how to use the Chopsticks like Mommy but it sure was cute watching her try! The Sushi pieces were her favorite and she picked them up and walked around the house with them. Every once and a while she would come back to the coffee table to pretend to eat them. I got a kick out of her trying to hold all three Shushi pieces in her hands while trying to pick up the Chopsticks as well... it didn't work out very well. She could get all three Shushi Pieces in her arms, but when she went to grab a Chopstick, she would drop a Sushi. She'd pick up the Chopstick and then try to pick up the Sushi, but dropped a Chopstick as she did, SO CUTE! She played with them for the rest of the night and even put the Fortune Cookie and Sushi pieces in the microwave and oven of her little kitchen set. My husband laughed and told Big Sister that "If you put Sushi in the microwave, it isn't Sushi anymore."
WIN IT! 
And now, on to my review! As I mentioned previously, I was sent a sample of the Vanilla Caramel with Butterscotch Chips. The sample measured approximately 2 inches long by 1 1/4 inches wide and about 1/2 inch thick.
The Caramel itself was firm but soft, not hard at all. When I bit into it, it didn't stick to my teeth and the texture was very smooth. Some caramel can get a grainy texture to them if not cooked properly and these were silky smooth. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and was not overly sweet. I could easily eat a couple handfuls of these caramels! The flavor overall was very nice, it had a nice blend of caramel and butterscotch, neither one overpowered the other, however each flavor was easily identifiable. The Butterscotch chips were firm but broke up immediately and had a texture similar to powdered sugar. The wrapper was very pretty, a shinny gold that was very appealing. The ONLY thing I had an issue with was the inside wrapping, it was a little difficult to remove the caramel from, but I took my time, was patient and it came off. Not sure if maybe it got smashed in the mail, or the heat got to it or what. The amazing taste made me forget about the wrapper and this small detail would not deter me from buying them or recommending them to others.
