Rock N Learn Multiplication Rap DVD Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

Rock N Learn is a great place to go for fun learning materials for your child.  They offer DVD's, CD's, and Apps to help engage your child while they learn.  We have been a fan of their products for some time now.  My kids like that they make learning fun!  They offer a variety of materials on different subjects too.  This is a nice way to help your child in an area that they might be having trouble in too.  

My son has started 3rd grade this year.  I know that he will continue to learn more about multiplication.  I think this can be a challenging subject for some kids.  I am excited to incorporate the Rock N Learn Multiplication Rap DVD into helping him learn this.  He has already watched it once and he truly enjoyed it.  The songs in the DVD make this an enjoyable way for him to work on his math skills.

About the DVD

The Multiplication Rap DVD from Rock N Learn is in line with Common Core Standards too.  This DVD is suggested for children in 3rd grade and up.  The DVD includes songs that help your child learn their multiplication facts - up to 12.  It also incorporates skip counting.  My 1st grader is working on this right now.  Even though she is not in 3rd grade yet, there is something she can get out of the DVD too.  The DVD is a cartoon that has fun characters.  The DVD features a fun hamster.  The hamster is D.J. Roc Doc.  He is a hip hop hamster.

Rainbow Honey The Final Battle Collection

Disclosure - free sample provided.

Rainbow Honey has once again impressed me with their newest nail polish collection.  This collection is inspired by Square Enix's Final Fantasty VII.  There are 15 great polishes that are part of this new collection.  The entire set retails for $120 if you purchase the 15 ml. bottle.  You can also get the set in 5 ml. bottle for $60.  The set is broken down into 3 parts.  You can purchase the parts together too.  The Parts retail for $45 for 15 ml. bottles, or they can be purchased with 5 ml. bottles for $20 per set.  You also have the option to buy a single full size bottle for $10 each.  The set is full of beautiful colors.  My husband was even looking at the paperwork that came along with these polishes.  He was asking me what it was because he is completely into his PlayStation games and thought it was pretty neat.

I received 3 of the great colors in the new Rainbow Honey collection.  I received Diamond Weapon.  This color is really neat.  It is a dark gray chrome color.  It has a really nice sparkly and shimmery element to it.  I also received Phoenix Down.  This is a glitter that is loaded with sparkles that are white and orange.  It is perfect by itself or great on top of another color.  I fell in love with the last color I am going to talk about.  Tera Flare is a black polish that has glitter mixed into it.  It has multi sized glitter that is silver and blue tones.  My 6 1/2 year old loved all of these polishes too.  I had to paint her nails with them as soon as she saw them.  She insisted that we paint her nails with Diamond Weapon and then use the Tera Flare for an accent nail.  

You can learn more about Rainbow Honey by visiting their website.  They offer quality nail polishes that are custom blended.  I love all of the fun and unique colors that they offer.  Their polishes do not contain nasty chemicals that you might often worry about either.  You can also connect with Rainbow Honey on Facebook and Twitter.

Hard Candy Makeup Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I am a makeup junkie.  I was honestly at Walmart the other weekend and found myself checking out all of the awesome Hard Candy Makeup.  Hard Candy is a company that offers fashion forward makeup choices.  They offer quality makeup at great prices.  The colors are fun and fabulous.  They offer makeup for lips, eyes, your face, and nails.  They also offer a selection of clothing items too.  They even offer some really cute eyewear as well.  I truly had fun trying all of the great products I received.  

Hard Candy Nails

I LOVE all of the Hard Candy nail polish.  I am not new to their nail products, but I was so excited to try out some new colors I received.  Their nail polish goes on easily and looks great on.  I received 2 great colors of the Hard Candy itzy glitzy polish.  These are shimmery polishes that are almost reflective.  I love it!  I received the crush on hot pink and the touch of teal colors.  I also received another fun Hard Candy polish.  This next polish is from their candy sprinkles line.  The candy coated looks amazing on.  I used it on my toes and think it is super cute.  This is a clear polish that looks like it has candy sprinkles in it.  This color is a combination of white, blues, and black.  The multi color polish gives a neat look.  I also tried the crystal confetti nail polish.  This is a great polish that is loaded with glitter.  It is great by itself or on top of another color.  

Hard Candy Lips

I tried out a number of lip products from Hard Candy.  They offer so many great glosses that look great on.  The Lip Def is a great way to add a ton of shine to your lips.  It goes on smooth and feels nice on too.  I received the crystal ball color.  It is shimmery and glittery.  It is nice all by itself, but can be layered on darker colors to add some extra shine.  Hard Candy's Plumping Serum tingles as you put it on.  It provides a great shine, but also plumps lips while it does it.  I really love the red mistress color.  

Hard Candy Eyes

There are so many choices when it comes to eye makeup when you shop with Hard Candy.   They offer shadows, liners, mascara and more.  Their poppin pigments are a great way to add some color and shimmer to eyes.  They go on feeling soft and they last throughout the day.  I also really like Hard Candy's Shadow Dancers.  This is a cream eye color and it is really easy to apply.  It gives great coverage on the lid too.  It gives off a nice pearl tone too.  

These are just some of the many great items that Hard Candy offers.  You can visit their website to learn more about their fun makeup products.  You can also find many of their products at Walmart.  You can connect with Hard Candy on Facebook and Twitter.

I received a Three Stone Horizontal Diamond Pendant.  They offer a variety of diamond pendants.  You can opt to choose from 10K white/yellow gold, 14K white/yellow gold, 18K white/yellow gold, or platinum.  The next step was to choose whether I wanted all diamonds or diamonds and gemstones.  You can also choose the karat weight on these.  I opted for two amethysts stones and a diamond to be placed in my pendant.  I love amethyst because both of my children have it as their birthstone.  If you opt to go with all diamonds you can choose your diamond quality too.  The last step is to choose the length of the chain.  The process of creating my own customized necklace was fun, simple and exciting.  

This is just one of the many beautiful pieces that Anjolee has to offer.  You can visit their website to learn more about their jewelry and you can order directly from the website too.  Anjolee Jewelry is a great place to shop with the holidays coming up too!

Skeeter Snacks Pinterest Contest - Raising Awareness About Nut Allergies

My children have a number of friends with food allergies.  One of the big ones is nut allergies.  I personally try to be considerate and safe at playdates and events.  I try and offer items that are safe for children that have nut allergies.  Skeeter Snacks are completely safe snacks for children or anyone that has a nut allergy.  

Skeeter Snacks currently has a promotion going on.  They are running a Pinterest contest.  They want to raise awareness about nut allergies.  I think this is truly important.  It's great if you have a child with a nut allergy, but it's also great because I think teaching children who don't have nut allergies is equally important.  

Visit the Skeeter Snacks Pinterest Page here.  The contest will run until December 13, 2013.  The details of the contest are below.  

Participants are asked to share the board with their followers daily during the three month campaign. Points will be awarded for following, re-pinning, liking and commenting on Skeeter Snacks’ pins within the No Nuts About It board. To earn an additional five points, participants can tweet @SkeeterSnacks, tag @SkeeterSnacks on Instagram and post on Skeeter Snacks’ Facebook using an @ mention to say at 

what retailers they found their Skeeter Snacks, along with hashtag #NoNutsAboutIt.  (copy provided by PR company)

I hope you will take a minute to learn more about Skeeter Snacks.  This is a great contest and it only takes a little bit of time to enter.
