I love the idea of documenting my travels. A scratch off world map is an amazing idea that not only helps you keep track of where you have been, but also makes a unique piece of wall art to display in your home. I am so impressed with the Scratch Off World Map Ultimate Pack by Shiny Journey on Amazon!
The map comes with everything you need to create your own personalized map of the world. Simply scratch off the places that you have visited from among 252 different countries and regions. The scratch-off map tool set includes a scratch tool, an erasable gold pen, a cloth for erasing, and three sets of stickers with 20 themes.
This map makes for a great conversation started. Soon you will be discussing your travels and bringing back memories just by hanging this on your wall. I think this would also make the perfect gift for anyone that enjoys traveling. I love how easy it is to keep track of your travels and plan out your next adventure. Be sure to check out the map on Amazon HERE. I need to get a big frame to keep mine in decent shape between travels!

Being that I was a mathematics major in college, I am drawn to logic and critical thinking. When I saw this coding game by ThinkFun, I just couldn't wait to try it out! It is actually the third in their series of coding games which are designed to make you think. After testing out this game, I would love to get my hands on the other two!
One thing that I really enjoyed was the fact that the games are screen free for a completely unplugged experience, which is rare in today's technologically built world. It is a problem solving game that you can play on your own, or as a team.
After reading the instructions, I was a little bit confused, but what helped was jumping right in and solving the first puzzle. There are four "Robot Circuit Boards" which vary in range of hardness. Once you think you have the problem solved, you can check the solutions book to be sure. I had fun solving a few of these puzzles and it is a great way to get your mind flowing. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to sharpen their mind skills! Be sure to check out their website and purchase a game for yourself, they come in at just $14.99!

After being featured on Shark Tank in 2012 and receiving deals from O'Leary and Herjavec, their business has expanded from a single product nutrition shot company to a full fledged sports nutrition company. They offer a full line of performance fuels, from ready to drink beverages to pills and powders.
Since 2012 they have been featured on Shark Tank, Beyond the Tank, Entrepreneur Magazine, Bloomberg Radio, Fox and Friends, Marine Times, People Magazine and Google even featured RuckPack in a Google Apps commercial.

It’s a brand whose owners live by a code of service to country and community and who uphold the ideals of honor, dedication, and integrity. RuckPack remains committed to their military roots, and everything RuckPack offers is designed with the warfighter in mind. RuckPack is made in the USA and is committed to giving up to 10% of profits back to charity.

The titles are "ODDphabet" and "Wacky123" and they are full of unique animals that will be sure to keep your children's attention, all while teaching the alphabet and 1,2,3's.

Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner have just revealed their secret to their amazing hair - Finesse! The October 2016 issue of Allure Magazine featured an article about Kendall's love for the product. Finesse is a hair care brand that has been around for quite some time now. But, as all beauty brands, they have to keep up with the trends to stay on top of the competition!
I was surprised to learn that Finesse will be spreading its wings this year and should be popping up in many wore stores close to you! These include over 3,400 Walmart stores plus Walgreens, Rite Aid, and more.
I have to admit that Finesse shampoo and conditioners are one of my favorites! It leaves my curly hair smooth and manageable. Seeing as it is specially formulated for hair that’s dry, damaged, stubborn, or sometimes frizzy, it is exactly what I need! Finesse shampoos, conditioners, and styling products are available at affordable prices nationwide.
Infused with active proteins, Finesse® Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner help restore and strengthen hair that is dry, damaged, stubborn, or sometimes frizzy. The active silk and soy proteins penetrate deep into the hair shaft, leaving your hair more moisturized and manageable. Your hair will feel clean and silky soft, while being easier to detangle and easier to style.
I am a big fan of fitness trackers, however I am not a big fan of the price tag that you pay for a name brand device. With today's technology, the top brands really do not have much to offer over a standard or generic device. For this reason, I have decided to look to Amazon for my next fitness tracker. I have settled on the Aulker Heart Rate Pedometer Smart Band.
To use this device, you install an app on your Apple or Android device and connect the bracelet via BlueTooth. This is fairly simple to do once you have the app on your phone. Then it is ready to start tracking your fitness and get you to a healthier life!
One of my favorite features of the bracelet is that it can track your heart rate. Previous devices that I have owned did not have this capability. It also has an alarm alert, sleep tracker, and call and text alerts among other things. I cannot get over all of the features that the Aulker bracelet can do and I am sure I will be finding more out the longer that I use it.
Overall, I am rather impressed with this fitness tracker. It does everything that I could as for and is available at a decent price on Amazon.com. Check out the full listing today: Aulker Fitness Tracker!

My husband and I have just purchased our first home and we are going to try and keep it as neat and organized as possible. I know this is going to be a big challenge, and most likely improbable, but thanks to the kind folks at Youcopia, we will atleast keep the kitchen a bit more put together!
I currently have three Youcopia products, and each one has done a wonderful job serving its purpose! I am so happy to share these with you and one of my readers will even have the opportunity to win some for themselves!
First is the adjustable lid or pan holder. It makes it super easy to store my new frying pans and their lids sideways in the cabinet. This way I don't have to move every single item in the cabinet to get to the largest frying pan that is stored at the bottom! The lid holder comes with 7 moveable dividers so you can place large or small lids on the holder and everything will fit snugly.
Another product I had the chance to test was the Food Container Storage Organizer. This product is simple to use, you just place it in a pull out drawer and store your to-go containers on it. It seems like when I am packing my lunch in the morning, I end up going through nearly every lid I own until I find the one that fits! Never again with this organized set!
The last product that I have from YouCopia is an amazing spice rack. This thing keeps my spice drawer organized and easy to access. I no longer slowly open the door and hope nothing falls on my head! I can be safe and secure in my own kitchen! I have to say that this is my favorite product so far.
My favorite aspect of these products is that they can be ordered online, or you can stop in your local Target and check to see if they have them prior to purchasing! If you would like the opportunity to own some YouCopia products for yourself, enter the contest below! The winner will have the chance to pick any product of their choice, up to $40. Good Luck!

I don't know about you, but my car is covered in small paint chips. Most of my driving is done on the highway and small stones turn into tiny terrors for my car! To top it off, I purchased my 2010 Dodge Avenger used last year and the previous owner had tried to fix a few paint chips on their own. I'm not sure how they got their paint, but it is significantly darker and stands out!
Up until now, I really didn't know how to go about fixing the chips on my car. Then, I came across Chipex and it was exactly what I wanted! I am a DIYer, so there was no way I would be paying a paint shop to fix up my small chips, doing it on my own with Chipex is easy and fun!
So what exactly is Chipex? It is a revolutionary car paint touch-up system that matches your paint color exactly and looks flawless once applied. Ordering your kit is easy, simply choose the size you want and know your paint color and you're done! It is applied in a three step process: 1. Paint 2. Blend 3. Polish. I am very pleased with the results- and as you can see - you can hardly tell that my car had a scratch at all!

As a kid, one of my favorite things to do was play with my polymer clay. I had a book with different clay ideas and I loved paging through it to find my next project. The only thing that stopped me from finishing projects was that the clay had to be baked to become hard. Sometimes my parent's weren't ready to start up the oven, or I only had one or two small pieces, so it would be a lot of work for something so small. Time would pass and my unfinished pieces would end up smashed and unable to be recovered.
All of these problems could be easily solved if I had been using air dry clay. This set of 24 color clays by SySrion is perfect. The box seems small, but once you open it up, it is filled to the brim! There are 24 different colored clays, which can be mixed together to make nearly any shade imaginable. The kit also comes with a few additional accessories, including goggly eyes, animal noses, ring mounts, molds and clay cutting tools.
The clay is incredibly light and easy to mold to your desired shapes. It fully hardens in about 24 hours, so you will be able to play with everything and not worry about it getting hard while in use. I love that the kit also includes small zip lock bags to keep the clay fresh for your next use. The clay is completely eco-friendly so there is no need to worry about any harmful materials getting to your kids.
Overall, I highly recommend this set if your kids are interested in creating shapes and their own special toys. This is fun and easy to clean up and use. A great gift idea, at a reasonable price! I am very satisfied with SySrion!
