I love when I find places that have fashionable jewelry at reasonable prices.  Bangle Paradise is just that.  They offer bangle bracelets that are adorable.  They offer a variety of different bangles in different styles.  These are a great way to add some fun and dress up any outfit.  They offer think bangles and ones that are really thick and chunky.  They offer gold and silver bangle bracelets.  It really depends on your personal style.  

Bangle Paradise is unique because they manufacture their own bangles.  There is no middleman involved in the selling process.  This keeps the prices low.  Bangle Paradise is a trusted name because they have been in the business for 20 years.  They have even designed bangles for department stores.  I find this impressive.

I received a Diva - Gold Rhinestone Bangle.  This bangle bracelet is very pretty.  It goes with anything.  It's a great statement piece and it's eye catching.  The bangle retails for $25.  The bangle is also available in sizes.  This is nice because not everyone has the same size wrist.  This bangle is really fun because it has an interesting shape.

Bob Books Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

Do you ever have a hard time finding the right level books for your early reader?  I had that exact problem.  Early readers can get very frustrated when it comes to reading.  If you find books that fit the level that they are at then it cuts down on frustration.  My son is 8 and he started with the Bob Books sets to read.  He now is an excellent reader.  I continued to use these with my now 6 1/2 year old.  We have had success with her using these too.  Bob Books come in a variety of levels and you can use these to help your child succeed.  

Bob Books has a variety of different sets.  You can visit their website to find out what set would be appropriate for your child.  I used the long vowel set when my daughter was having a hard time last year figuring out how to read long vowels versus short vowels.  The set was excellent and really helped her.  Bob Books start out very simple and they even have an ABC set and a Pre Reading Set.  The levels advance too. 

The Sight Words for First Grade is an excellent set.  My daughter picked these up the day we got them and read 2 of the books.  She did it without frustration too!  I love that Bob Books always make reading fun and easy.  The books are not overwhelming.  I want to say that some early readers can be difficult for little ones.  They might have simple words that they can decode, but then they throw in a difficult word like giraffe and I know my little one gets frustrated with that. The Bob Books Sight Words for First Grade is a set of 10 small books.  This book will help your child know the 30 words that are incorporated in the books by "sight."  The set also includes some helpful flashcards that reinforce what your child has learned.

The next set of Bob Books that I want to tell you about is called the Complex Words set.  We are slowly working on getting my 6 1/2 year old into reading chapter books.  The problem I have come across is tha and letter blends when she reads chapter type books she is challenged by the more complex words.  The Complex Words set from Bob's Books helps your child read longer sentences.  This set consists of 8 books.  These books are a little longer.  They are anywhere from 16 to 24 pages.  However, the books are in no way overwhelming.  My daughter gets very frustrated if she can't read a word in a book.  She sat down with me and read one of these and was so proud of herself.  

If you are interested in purchasing a set of Bob Books for your early reader you can visit their website.  The website is very helpful in figuring out what level you need for your child's ability too.  These are books that we will continue to use to help my daughter continue to strengthen her reading skills.  Have you used any of the Bob Books to help your child read?

Stay Cool and Hydrated with 989, Herbal Mist Teas, and Liquid Lightening

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I received a sampler of wonderful beverages for my family to try.  These beverages all have wonderful ingredients.  They are great to keep in the fridge because they are perfect when you want something cold and refreshing.  What do you drink when it's hot out and you want to cool off?

989 OnDemand

This is a line of 6 flavored beverages.  They are completely natural and they taste great.  They are loaded with minerals and electrolytes.  I love that I can drink them and feel refreshed, but not have to worry about them being loaded with sugar.  They are sugar-free and are sweetened with Stevia.  This beverage contains B-complex and Vitamin C.  The vitamins are absorbed better into your body because they are water-soluble.  The bottles these come in are so neat.  The vitamins sit in the cap.  You twist the cap a special way and then the vitamins are released, but not until you are ready to drink.  These taste great too.  My favorite flavor is the punch.

Liquid Lightning

This is an energy drink that comes in both an original and sugar-free variety and it tastes great.  I drank the sugar-free and my husband had the original.  This energy drink was created by by doctors and food scientists.  It is fortified with caffeine, antioxidants, B Vitamins, Vitamin C and more.  It is the perfect drink for that boost of energy that you might need when you are having a day that drags.  

Herbal Mist Tea

This is a natural tea that is flavored with real fruit.  These come in sugar sweetened, Stevia sweetened and unsweetened.  My husband enjoyed the peach variety.  He said it has a nice fruity peach flavor.  I really liked the Stevia sweetened mango.  I love mango, but I have never seen mango tea.  This is super fresh and a great refreshing drink.  Herbal Mist Tea is enhanced with Yerba Mate.  What is Yerba Mate?  It is a stimulant that is natural.
