Techno Gears Marble Mania - Zoomerang Review




This is so much fun! I got this for us to play around with and something to play with on those rainy days. This is very similar to a lego set with a prebuild instructions manual. When you first open the box and start pulling out the pieces it can be a bit over whelming at first. Do not get scared the instructions are very detailed and super easy to follow so you can get it set up. They call for a set up time of 1-2 hours. Took us about 45 minutes to get it set up.


Once it is set up it is more then capable of providing hours of entertainment. All the pieces are interchangeable with the other techno Gears sets so I am looking forward to expanding my set to a monstrosity sized marble maze! I am not sure who has had more fun with this, me or the kids. It says it is recommended for ages 6-15 but it is fun at my age as well! There are some small pieces so that is why it is not recommended for younger age groups because of the choking hazard.





If you are looking for a build project with the kids for those rainy days or what have you this Zommerang is a great starter project. It is a small set with 100 pieces. I would like to thank The Learning Journey International and affiliates for sending me such a great toy to try out and give my opinion.

The Traffic Stoppers Case (book review)




This is a rather short story from author Rod Sterling. It is a little less then 250 pages in total length. This is not a on the edge of your seat book. The story does have a very good plot and flows nicely. This book is based on the 1950's genre it does not have much by the way of deception, violence, sex, or language. It is a PG rating type book to me.


The story is about slavery ring in the 50's. The basis of the story is to find the missing girls that have been put into slavery. His partner Mindy goes under cover to help try to break up and find out what is happening to these young women. They have discovered over 20 similar cases, with no help from the police. Along the way he finds some of these girls have been killed. He does however rescue and get some of the girls out of a life of slavery.


If you are looking for a good book geared for teens, young adults, or soft core readers this is with out a doubt a book to pick up. I would like to thank Silver Leaf Books and affiliates for sending me this book to read and give my opinion.

Betraying the God of Light (book review)




This is a book from a new author Jared Angel. The book is a little over 300 pages long. It is currently available in e-reader and paperback. This is a great book and it is very complex. It is a book that is best read slowly to absorb everything. It is to easy to skim and miss something very important to the story and then be out of sorts with the book. This book does a very good job of keeping your interest and wanting to find out what could happen next.


This story is about 2 gods a brother and sister for the most part. They are creating a world and things go terribly wrong. The brother sets out to help the sister making a great sacrifice. In return the sister trys to help the brother and splits him into two entities equally matched. One being good and the other of an evil nature. Through out the book the intense fighting and warring between factions will keep you on the edge of your seat.


If you are a fan of fantasy realm books, this is a great debut book to add to your collection. I have high hopes for the second book of this story and look forward to reading it. I would like to thank Silver Leaf Books and affiliates for sending me this book to read and give my opinion.

Samurai Kendama Review




They call this a kids toy but I think it is a lot more then that. It is a great tool to increase hand eye coordination. It will also teach the user how to catch things with a soft touch even though nothing about either piece is soft.


The Kendama has 4 different levels of difficulty for catching the ball. There is one on either side of the toy, each being different size cups for catching the ball in. The third is the one at the bottom of the handle is the next cup for catching which is the smaller cup. Lastly is catching the ball on the spike. With out a doubt the most difficult.


After hours of play we have finally started to catch the ball often now. It does require a soft touch and massive hand eye skill to get the ball to land in the cup. The only thing that I have seen from this paticular Kendama is the paint does start to chip after prolonged use. It does not affect the use of the game, only the appearance.


If you are looking to join the Kendama world of games this unit will perform well for you. I would like to thank Coco Joy and affiliates for sending me this Kendama to try out and leave my opinion.

Bubble Therapy Pure & Natural Bubble Bath Review




This is a 3 in 1 natual bubble bath. It is for shampoo, body wash, and bubble baths. It is an all natural product designed to improve your skin health while cleaning. This plant-based formula is gentle enough for pregnant women, and can be used by the entire family.


The bubble part of this did not seem to be as bubbly as my other bubble bath but that is an okay sacrifice to have all natural. It seemed to be about 2/3 to 3/4 the amount of my normal bubble bath. I do like that it is also a hair and body wash with the bubbles. This makes it a ton easier to get the little one squeky clean because it becomes more fun and not a chore.


All Natural and Organic ingredients with no Sulfate, no Harsh detergents, no Paraben, no Sodium Benzoate, and no Dioxanne. This was great while taking a bath. I did not see that soapy residue left behind by most soaps and bubble bath products. My skin did not feel all dried out after getting out of the bath either.


It has healing and skin care ingredients like oatmeal that helps with Eczema and Calendula moisturizes and soothes dry skin to mention a couple. Everyone knows you are never to young or old to take care of your skin.


If you are in the market for an all natural 3 in 1 soap product that makes lots of bubbles there is no need to look any further. I would like to thank Argania LLC for sending me this bubble bath to try out and leave my opinion.
