Review of a Foam Roller For Sore Muscles: Bro, Do You Even Roll?

Product: Foam Roller

I started doing foam rolling when I started training for my half marathon. As the weekly miles piled up and the strength training increased, I would often end up with extremely sore muscles. I absolutely hate ice baths and I'm not convinced those are the best way to go anyway as the ice bath reduces the inflammation and the inflammation is what makes your muscles break down and rebuild stronger.

Letter Beads: Crafts & Projects & FUN!

Froot Loop and I did a fun activity. We tried spelling, lacing, and sorting with manuscript letter beads. Then, we made a sensory bottle with some recycleables and art supplies!

Review of Baby Einstein's Take Along Tunes Classical Music Toy for Babies

Brand: Baby Einstein Product: Take Along Tunes

This toy should be on every baby registry. Froot Loop wore his out because he played with it every day for over 2 years, so I put a new one on Cocoa Puff’s list and I’m so glad I did. This toy is perfect for the car and for diaper bags. It lights up and plays music, so it keeps baby’s attention when they’re strapped in that car seat!

Review of OKO Filtered Water Bottle

I was recently in the market for a new reusable water bottle. One of my other reusable filtered bottles broke after almost 6 years of use! I was looking for an exact replacement, but then I found these cool OKO water bottles on Amazon. They were pretty cheap and looked awesome so I thought I’d try them since I like trying new things.

Natural and Organic Shampoo & Conditioner Review

Brand: Nature's Gate Product: Herbal Shampoo & Conditioner

A few years ago, I stopped using “traditional” shampoo and conditioner. I started avoiding parabens and sulfates. Most shampoo and conditioner has sodium laureth sulfate in it. I was in Austin one day and went to Sprouts. I thought maybe I should look for shampoo there since they have a lot of natural products there. I found this brand of shampoo and conditioner called Natures Gate and it was on sale where if you bought the shampoo, you got the conditioner free! Well, I had never paid that much for shampoo or conditioner before (I was always an herbal essenses girl before that), but I thought I’d give it a try.
