Tulip Body Art



  Looking for a fun thing to do at parties/sleepovers/sporting events?  Then Tulip Body Art will have you creating in no time.  

  Tulip Body Art has a full line of products that kids and/or adults can use to decorate their skin.  They carry Face & Body Paints, Crystals, Stencils, Glitter Tattoo Kits, Body Markers, and Hair Chalk to name a few.  

  Don't have time to wait for them to arrive in the mail?  No worries, the Tulip Body Art kits are available at Michael's, Jo-Ann, Meijer, Hobby Lobby, and AC Moore.  Or you can order them directly from ilovetocreate.com.  

Mommy in GA: This is one of my favorite products we have reviewed!!!! When they told us they were sending it out I jumped around and squealed like a 5 year old. We had so much fun with the kit, we got it out several times for birthday parties and sleepovers!
I have 3 girls so of course you add in their friends and you have a good size group for fun!!
The majority of it is really easy.... The girls were giving each other glitter tattoos because they had the stencils and the glue and glitter were easy to use..... Just keep an eye on them or you may have a glitter or glue overload!

  We had so much fun with the tulip body art and the supplies lasted quite some time but, are also super easy to order online! The only down fall was the hair chalk we were pretty dissappointed but, in tulip body arts favor I have yet to find a hair chalk we love, this hair chalk didn't work real well in the girls' hair as they all have kind of dark colored hair.

This is a product i would definately review again and even buy.



  Mommy in PA:  I can't say enough good stuff about the Glitter Tattoo Kit.  It was super, super easy.  My ten year old even did his own and they turned out great.  We actually did our tattoos for at the local fair but ended up not being able to go that night...bummer : (  I figured we'd have to do the tattoos again the next night but amazingly they were still intact and looked like we had just done them.  Well it is four days later and just to see how well they held up I was super careful not to scrub over my tattoo in the shower and it is amazingly still there.  Not as glittery as it was but still easily recognizable : )  



  My daughter and I actually tried the hair chalk too (we got the pink).  We, like Mommy in GA, were not impressed at all : (  It hardly showed up, we were looking for really bright.  But again, we have darker hair too so this may just work better for lighter hair color.  



  All in all we were very impressed with the Tulip Body Art for its ease of use and the fact that the product lasts a long time and you can even reuse the stencils as long as you stick them back on the plastic backing, or get creative and make your own designs : )

derma e Hydrating Night Creme

disclaimer:  I received the product below for free in exchange for my honest opinions.  All opinions remain my own.

derma e Hydrating Night Crème
 
 
 
  We all know how important it is to keep our bodies hydrated during the summer months, but how many of us really think about how important it is to keep our skin hydrated as well? 
 
  derma e Hydrating Night Crème makes it simple to keep your skin hydrated with minimal work on your behalf.   Just apply once daily to help keep your skin softer, smoother, and younger-looking.  
 
  One of the ingredients used is Hyaluronic Acid.  One molecule of Hyaluronic Acid is said to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water.  This crème also includes anti-aging antioxidants, vitamins C and E, and Aloe. 
 
  Mommy in GA:I am so excited about our reoccurring work together with derma e!!! Derma e has soooooo many great products and they are decently priced for the amount of product you get and how long it lasts!!

I received the derma e Hydrating Night Crème this time and I really like it!!!

I am only 32 so I am hoping that not getting a miraculous result on looking younger is because........ I am already looking younger!!!!!!

The texture is fantastic!! Some lotions are too thick or too thin or too greasy etc....  The derma e Hydrating Night Crème feels like a thicker lotion, but it is just right!!! It does not leave a greasy feel on your skin which I LOVE!!!!!! I can not stand the feel of greasy residue on my face after the fact.
Another great thing I love is the smell of it I can't explain it but, it just smells good which is a great feature for a product you wear on your face...you know...around your nose where it smells everything!!!

The jar is super cute, not very fancy but, it is relatively small and easy to keep out of the way, unlike the big bottles that take up so much room :)

derma e Products

disclaimer:  I received the products below for free in exchange for my honest opinions.  All opinions remain my own.
 
derma e
 
  So if you haven't noticed already, we have tested quite a few derma e products.  Well today's post is about two more of their product line, the Tea Tree and E Oil and the Hydrating Facial Wipes.
 
 
 
 
 
  The Tea Tree and E Oil is a multi-purpose product.  It can be used for a variety of skin issues.  It is made using 75% Tea Tree Oil (known for being a potent antibacterial, antifungal, and a natural antiseptic) and 25% Vitamin E.
 
  derma e actually calls this product their "medicine kit in a bottle" and they say you can use it on cuts, scrapes, dermatitis, eczema, ringworm, fungal issues, poison ivy, insect bites, rashes, blisters, and fungal issues. 
 
  Mommy in PA:  Well of course I used this on my dry hands first and let me tell you, not only did it give me instant relief from the dryness but it actually helped heal my hands back up from all of the cracking. 

So the verdict on the insect bites...it worked, and it worked within seconds.  Now the itching did come back from time to time over the next couple of days but another dab of the oil and I was good to go!
 
  The smell of this is a little strong but it really does grow on you after awhile : ) 
 
 
 
    derma e is also looking out for those who travel with their Hydrating Facial Wipes.  Need to take your facial care on the go?  Then these facial wipes would be perfect for you.  The packaging is small enough to toss in your bag or glove box and again they are multi-purpose.  Not only are you cleaning the gunk off your face but you are also moisturizing with Hyaluronic Acid which leaves your skin conditioned, softened, and smooth. 
 
  These wipes contain the superfruit extracts Grape Seed and Maqui Berry. 
 
  Each pack contains 25 compostable wipes and even the outer packaging is recyclable. 
 
  Mommy in PA:  What a great product to toss in your glove box or in your gym bag.  These come in super handy for when you need a quick freshen-up but don't have access to running water.  I've tried a few different facial wipes in my day and most leave your face feeling almost too clean, tight, and dry.  Not these wipes, they leave your face feeling soft and smooth, no oiliness here. 
 
  The scent of these is nice too.  Nothing overwhelming, just a nice natural smell.

derma e Skin, Hair and Nail Oil

disclaimer:  We received the product below for free in exchange for our honest opinions.  All opinions remain our own.
 
derma e Skin, Hair and Nail Oil
 
 
 
 
Multi-purpose products are all the rage.  Who wants a product that does only one thing when you can have something that takes care of a wide range of beauty issues in one small package?!  Well derma e has done just that in their Skin, Hair and Nail Oil.
 
  The Oil is a concentrated, multi-benefit beauty treatment with Organic Argan, Organic Jojoba, and Kukui Oils.  As with all other derma e products this one is also cruelty-free and 100% vegan. 
 
  You can use the oil on your skin to help replenish moisture, on your hair for taming frizz and boosting shine, and on your nails for conditioning. 
 
  Mommy in GA: we have done a lot with derma e poducts and have yet to be dissappointed! This product is the same! I tried it on my hair on the ends (the oil helps with frizziness and if you have ever dyed or bleached your hair before a much needed cut you know the frizz im talking about!)  i put a drop of oil in my hair and the frizz instantly subsided it doesnt even look super oily!
Next i tried my nails.... This was different because it leaves a glaze, i am typing on my phone after re applying and i can see everywhere my hands have been! Might need to clean the screen after this! The bright side being my nails look better!!

Last but not least my skin...... I know you are all probably thinking good god why doesn't mommy in GA just go get a pedicure already!!! But again I used this on my cracked dry heels. I don't know why I won't get a pedicure, it's a luxury and takes time I guess lol. I notice a difference in my heels it seems to help hold the moisture a little better.
It comes in a cute bottle with it's own dropper and it smells different but not stinky different.
 
  Mommy in PA:  Just like Mommy in GA and her dry heels, I tried this oil on my worst problem skin area...my hands.  I love how it instantly helped soothe them and made them feel a lot less tight, dry skin is just so irritating and this was a quick fix.  I also love how it made my nails shiny and it made my cuticles look healthier too. 
 
  I personally did not use this in my hair because my daughter stole it before I had a chance too...LOL.  What she used it for was her face.  During the winter she had some problem areas where her skin got dry and flaky, this helped her quite a bit and she even said she noticed her face wasn't breaking out as much either.

Fresh Cab

disclaimer:  We received the product below for free in exchange for our honest opinions.  All opinions remain our own.

Fresh Cab

  Most of us have had to deal with a rodent problem from time to time.  But who likes the thought of having to use scary chemicals to get rid of the problem rodents?  Well the company earthkind has the solution.  

  Fresh Cab is a non-toxic, green product made for repelling rodents.  Just place the pouches anywhere you see signs of rodent activity.  Be sure to place one near your dryer vent close to fall as those little buggers are always looking for a nice warm place to get out of the weather. 

Mommy in GA: I am not sure if i had any issues with mice before i tried this product or not,but I can tell you i definitely didn't after i used it!!

I have 4 relatively small children and their safety is the front and center of my concerns.....I was able to sit this out and not worry too much about them getting ahold of it. I stuck one in my laundry room and one outside in my carport (i will be honest and tell you their are enough crawling critters out there and i do NOT need mice too!!) i have not noticed any mice or nesting supplies or even those lovely pellets they like to leave us😃.

Overall i am pretty impressed....... We have enough to worry about without those little buggers moving in!!

Mommy in PA:  Unlike Mommy in GA, I know we have rodent issues from time to time...yuck!  You would think that having cats would totally get rid of the mice but it doesn't.  I have actually watched a mouse steal some of my cat's food before.  

  I was so excited to try out the Fresh Cab because sometimes it just isn't safe to sit a mousetrap or mouse poison where we are having the mouse issues...like near the cat's food.  But with the Fresh Cab I didn't have to worry about it : )  And guess what...no mice since I put it out YAY!
