It's time to talk about amazing holiday gifts you guys! Today we are talking about the very best thing to get or give for the holidays, and that is a little bit of luxury! I don't know about you guys, but my favorite thing to receive as a gift is something luxurious, something I can continue to use long after the holiday is over, and something that I wouldn't regularly buy for myself. That's why the Holiday Gift Sets from Josie Maran are the PERFECT gift!  Josie Maran's whole purpose behind her cosmetics line is products that are healthy for people and the planet. The main ingredient in all of Josie's products is 100% pure, organic Argan oil. The majority of the packaging and products used by this company are recyclable and super earth friendly. If you are not familiar with the benefits of Argan oil, you should really familiarize yourself with this amazing product, which is sometimes called "liquid gold". It's a mulitasking wonder...

You Guys!!! It's time for Halloween!! We have the coolest product to share with you guys, just in time for the creepiest of holidays! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gift set is perfect for a special Halloween treat for the TMNT fan in your life! First of all, the gift set comes with a BluRay Combo Pack of BOTH TMNT films, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows! It also comes with two double sided ninja masks (all four turtle colors!), which are perfect for awesome DIY costumes! It also comes with (my favorite part!) a collectible metal Turtle Lunchbox which can also be used for trick or treating. LOVE this gift set! We have a whole entire house full of TMNT lovers, both guys and girls, big and small, and this gift set has most definitely been well received around our house!  Love, love love this gift set, and love both of the movies as well! The kids have been huge fans of the first movie, and were very excited to...

Hey guys! Today we have another great book review for you guys, just in time for the holiday season! It's called The Blind Guide To Normal and it's written by Beth Vrabel. It's a great book for middle graders! Here's a little rundown:  Richie “Ryder” Raymond has a gift. He can find the punchline in any situation, even in his limited vision and prosthetic eye. During the past year at Addison School for the Blind, Ryder’s quick wit earned the respect and friendship of his classmates. Heading to mainstream, or “normal,” school for eighth grade is going to be awesome. After all, what’s not to like? At Addison, Ryder was everyone’s favorite person. He could make anyone laugh, especially his best friend Alice. So long as he can be first to make all of the one-eyed jokes, Ryder is sure he’ll fit in just as quick at Papuaville Middle School, home of the Fighting Guinea Pigs. But Alice warns him fitting in might not be as easy as he thinks. Turns out, Al...

here Today we have an adorable gift idea to share with you guys! Say hello to the new PlushCraft Holiday Ornament Kits from ORB Factory! With PlushCraft activity kits, you take the included stylus and punch colorful fabric into premade products such as pillows, stuffed animals and more. It's sort of like sewing, sort of like hot gluing, but with much less mess and worry for grown ups! I have a whole houseful of crafty kiddos around, and I knew these ornament kits would be absolutely perfect for them to try out! These ornament kits are so adorable! We got the chance to try out a reindeer and a gingerbread man, and they are so cute! The kids loved making them, even the littlest one,  he had no problems doing this with just a little help from the grown ups! I always try to buy a few new ornaments every year for the kids to hang on the tree, but I really like this even better, since these ornaments are something that they actually made themselves, plus they are going to...

Today's Holiday Gift Guide sponsor is a great new company that hasn't been around too long, but they are here to change the game when it comes to men's clothing and accessories. Something Strong is a men's clothing line that doesn't take itself too seriously. They have a ton of amazing men's clothing and accessories in their lineup, and they are perfect for the guy in your life!  We recently got the chance to review an awesome canvas messenger bag from something strong! Now, I know, Something Strong is a men's clothing line, but it just so happens, my most photogenic review helper is an 11 year old little girl! So, here she is, modeling this super cool bag!  This bag is really nice! It's a great quality, and has room for everything. The bag is really nicely constructed, and I really love that it has an adjustable strap, which can adjust up to 58 inches. The closure is a magnetic snap closure, and it has a side cell phone pocket alon...

Neither Wellness nor PetSmart is responsible for the content of this article. You guys. YOU. GUYS. Lucy is a year old!!! Can you believe it?!?! I seriously cannot even comprehend that my little tiny puppy baby is one year old! It's so crazy to me! This past year has flown by. She has grown so much, and in some ways, it feels like we just brought her home, but in other ways, I can't imagine a time in our lives when we didn't have her here with us. She has changed so much in the past year!  I've changed in the past year too. I mean, I have had pets before, you know, random dogs and cats that had somehow found their way into my life, who I cleaned up after and stepped over. But now, I am a REAL doggy mom. She is my b...

here You guys, I am about to share a product with y'all that has been LIFE CHANGING for us in our home improvement journey! As some of you know, we recently paid off our little fixer upper house out in the sticks, and while we are pretty sure we are going to be upgrading houses in the future, we are for sure going to be on this little spot of land for the rest of forever. That being said, we have SO much work to do around here. Probably the biggest hurdle that we have to tackle is our overgrown fence line. There are random overgrown trees EVERYWHERE, taking over our property and just making things look super gross. We have probably 100 feet of fence line to tackle and get ahold of, so we were very nervous as to whether or not we could handle the job!  We recently got the chance to review the Fiskars PowerGear2 Lopper , and I am in love. This one little product has made our yard work SO much easier. I am a lopping pro at this point, and I am going to tell you guys eve...

Okay guys, we are going to tell you about something today that is going to revolutionize the way that you shower. How about skipping that awkward waiting to dry off before you put on lotion part of your shower routine and switching things up a little? Let me introduce you to Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer. This is a lotion like no lotion you have seen before. This lotion is something that is actually activated by wet skin, and you use it right after stepping out of the shower.  This may sound crazy, but hear me out. After you shower, your skin is wet, and your pores are already open. What better time for moisture to seep into your skin and get you moisturized? This lotion is a game changer, especially now that we are going into fall/winter, and dry, parched skin is definitely going to be "a thing". It doesn't make your skin feel oily or greasy, which is the biggest thing for me when it comes to moisturizers. It really does moisturize, it does a great ...
