#SimplyEarth Lemon Oil Review (Tomoson)

I received Lemon Essential Oil by Simply Earth - 15 ml, 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade, in exchange for honest review. I have used lemon oil to clean the bathroom (mixed with other essential oils). I have used the oil to soak in the tub with. I also used a dab on Brad to help him smell good.

Coconut Swish Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I received Virgin Coconut Oil Swish: Teeth Whitening & Oral Detox 8oz liquid, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I have heard of oil pulling before to freshen your breath and whiten your teeth, but it felt weird. I have essential oils, including coconut oil, but I wasn't sure if all of them was therapeutic grade (for oral consumption) or for aromatherapy and other uses. My niece tried peppermint oil to freshen her breath but she took too much and felt the burn and tummy troubles.

I liked the coconut oil swish better than my regular alcohol-free mouthwash. You swish the oil around in your mouth for a few minutes and then spit out. Your breath smells fresh and you will see a difference in the brightness of your teeth. The swish has minty taste.

Norcho Bath Mat Review (Giveaway Service)

Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. This post also contains Amazon Affiliate links. Reference ID b8d8c7d8e7e1



I received the Norcho Bath Mat in exchange for honest review from Giveaway Service. The mat can be used in the tub, shower, or as a floor mat. One side of the mat has suction cups, while the other side has little nubs and nodules, great for exfoliating and cleaning dirt off your feet. The mat does have slots, which allows the water to run through.

My oldest didn't like the sensation of the mat in the tub, so he or I removed it when he showered. I liked how the mat felt on my feet.

When using the mat as a floor mat, water does run under it. You will need to let the mat dry between uses as a floor mat. The mat is easy to roll up and store.

Click and Play Power Saw Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links
















I received Click n' Play Kids Pretend Play Electronic Toy Circular Saw, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The saw is battery powered and uses 2 AA batteries. I got this for Kalen and He tried to open it up with a screw driver. He also liked touching the saw while it was moving. The button under the handle is the power on button. Then you have the lever on the side, which doesn't do anything. I think this is a great toy for children.

Click and Play Kids Pretend Cleaning Set Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.




I received Click n' Play 10 Piece Kids Pretend Play Cleaning Set, Water Bucket, Cleaning Agent Bottles, Broom, Mop, Duster, Wet Floor Sign, Brush and Dustpan in exchange for honest review. I got this for my son and great niece. They had fun playing with the set. I do wish the sticks were a little longer to accommodate a toddler's height. My son is 4 yrs old, 3 ft 2 and had to bend down a little bit to use. The wet floor sign got wet and was damaged. I also accidently broke off part of the duster, which connects to the stick. The kids still try to dust around the house without the stick attached

I received Click n' Play Kids Pretend & Play Doctor Kit, Medical Doctor Equipment, Electronic Stethoscope and Battery Operated Cell Phone with Carrying Gift Case (15 pieces) in exchange for honest review.

I got this for my youngest son and great niece. They both took to certain items to play with. Both loved the phone, but my son took that over plus the case. He uses the case to carry things around the house, such as his shoes. My niece took to the other items. She has tried the band aids, the blood pressure machine and the stethoscope. She also tried to eat the mirror to look at teeth with. I like the variety of toys so both can play without interrupting the other.
